What kind of bulbs do I need to run those really bright like blue headlights? Any adjustments? The festy stock lights and highbeams are a joke.

Those really bright headlights?

Replace your headlight wiring, add a relay, and get a quality osram bulb and you will see a big difference. Changing the bulbs on a reflector lens headlight for HID bulbs made for projector lenses is just an annoyance to everyone else on the road.Oscar

best you can buy walking into Autozone and such is Silverstar Ultras. Great improvement without going the hid route as perucho said.....they are bad for oncoming traffic.
I did buy a set that are the best of both worlds though....they are extra bright on lows...like the Silverstars....and HID highs so that when no one is coming I can kick them on and no one suffers....but the night time...lol."FLTG4LIFE" @FINALLEVEL , "PBH"

I disagree (from my own experiences in my own car). If aimed correctly, the stock lamps are good, and my high beams are very bright, no problems at all. Perhaps your aim is off, or something electrical is wrong?Originally posted by ENEMY_ View Post.......The festy stock lights and highbeams are a joke.

Becareful though... even though the wattage make be within range, the heat given off may not be.... and that can cause the headlight plug to melt.Originally posted by microflea View PostI bought some 80/100 watt bulbs for $5.50 off ebay for the pair.They're extremely bright and I did'nt change anything on the car to run them.They really look like HIDs'.www.cardomain.com/id/jermnc77
